Batch build performance

Fri Nov 14, 2008 6:32 pm

I am building two installers using a batch process (calling via a command line). The two projects are built on the same machine. They are pretty similar. Some difference in files but not significant (one will end up as 80 Mb installer while the other will be 110MB).

When building the installer, one of them will be done is 1.5-2 minutes. The other will take 13-15 minutes to complete. This is consistent, regardless if they run one after the other, separately, or in any order. The machine is reasonably strong, 4GB, lots of free disk space, etc.

What can cause such a difference? Where should I look?

Thanks

Hi,

Usually a long build process is caused by:
- LZMA compression
- a lot of components, files or registry entries

If this is not the case for your package, please send us the AIP file to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it.
